‘Refugees and Social Work’ – a guest blog for BASW
Liquid Personnel social worker, Alice Chigumira, has written an informative guest blog for The British Association of Social Workers (BASW) about the on-going refugee crisis being experienced all throughout Europe.
The blog post discusses the history of global movement and the difficulties that refugees can face when moving to another country.
As a Zimbabwean refugee herself, Alice tells her story in the blog post, mentioning the issues she faced when applying for asylum, and some of the things you overhear in social care settings when refugees are being discussed.
Alice’s story provides a way for others to understand the importance of refugees to the host nation, as well explaining the present political climate and how refugees are viewed by the general public.
